Her death lands her on the embalming table of Elvis, an embittered young man whose sense of family duty and love for his ailing father keep him from following his dreams.

With the help of each other and Elvis' father, they discover love, freedom and happiness as the real world and their own demons threaten to force them apart.

User Review
incredible movie: go and see it!!!
Rating: 10/10
I loved this movie. Loved the actors, the story, the setting, the
music: all of it. I am European and really appreciated that kind of
tone in the movie. I thought about it for a few days afterward. Joe
Mantegna is fantastic in his role as Charlie. Max Minghella and Blake
Lively are phenomenal as Elvis and Anabelle: the chemistry between them
is great. Mary Steenburghen is amazing in anything she does. Keith
Corradine is wonderful as well. I love the message of hope that gives
to teens. It is refreshing after seeing all these horror/slasher movies
out in theaters. I would definitely recommend this movie and in fact I
am already doing so: when is it going to come out?
